East Village dream. South facing studio is one block from Tompkins Square Park and two blocks from East River. Community gardens on every corner of East village's renowned Alphabet City neighborhood.

El lugar

I've lived ln this neighborhood for almost twenty years. The cocktail of artists , Loisaida community gardens , historic Tompkins Square park and proximity to the East river promenade make it my favorite NYC neighborhood. All this in addition to the endless array of cafés, top notch cuisine and boutiques make it an ideal locale for exploring NYC . With Williamsburg and DUMBO just a stroll over the two nearby bridges, you basically can't complain.

The best coffee in the neighborhood is one block away at ninth street espresso. If you are interested I can give you a list of my favorite restaurants, gardens, galleries and music venues. Happy to advise!

Prefer to leave shoes at door and food in kitchen only. Other than that, basic respect for my lovely neighbors. It is a small building that we care for like an extended family. No cigarette smoking or parties. Cleaning fee ls $95.00.

I already knew the neighborhood - which is great - but the building was small and quiet as described, other tenants were friendly, and overall it was a great place to stay - and a great place in NYC that's a whole apt, especially. Suzanne wasn't in town but she was easy to communicate with, and she responded to any dilemmas I brought her with kindness and consideration.
This was my first AirBnB venture, and I loved the idea of having a place to myself, to feel like I was at home while I was there, with privacy, a cool view of the East River, a great neighborhood.
Overall: bohemian space, lovely art on the walls, great library of books, quiet building, great view, clean enough. Not for someone looking for schmancy Manhattan luxury, but it was perfect for me.

Suzanne was a super accommodating host. The apartment was surprisingly spacious, and close to a lot of awesome bars and restaurants in East Village. My only issue was that the apartment is far away from most subways, so I always had a long walk or bus ride to endure if I wanted to go to other parts of Manhattan. However, there's plenty to do in East Village -- hardly any reason to leave anyway! The building felt very safe, and the apartment had AC and wifi. I had a good experience overall.

I stayed at Suzanne's space for 2 nights. I was headed to a meditation/energy healing retreat in Brooklyn and needed to drop my bags off at 7 in the morning of the check-in date. Suzanne was was very welcoming and helpful in general, and able to accomodate my needs here!
The space is very comfortable, spacious for 1 person or a couple, and I had the pleasure of watching the sun rise twice over the East River from the studio window. It is in a good location in East Village (alphabet city), close to the 1 Av L train stop, and many nice eateries and coffee places. All in all it was a good complement/component of my weekend retreat within the hustle and bustle of the city.

Suzanne's artist Studio is well located for what I had in mind, for connecting with friends in the East Village and Brooklyn. Her apartment is a nice space and she was definitely interested in sharing local resources along with the apartment.
Suzanne has a large selection of books, art continually in progress, and a variety of interests. You will not be bored, and might want to settle some, after the 5 floor walk up! New Yorkers walk and you will find lots to entertain nearby in the lively yet quiet neighborhood.

The apartment's was great for my stay , bright space and great location to explore East Village.
Suzanne was contactable for any needs, felt a bit burdened by requests to let cleaning services in that didn't show up. However I must say she was really accommodating with times to pick up and drop off keys.
I would recommend staying here! The location was great and Suzanne's place is filled with amazing books.

Respuesta de Suzanne:

yikes -- I had some communication problems with the cleaning service because my Iphone died while i was working out in the middle of nowhere and unable to get to an apple store, hence the cleaning service SNAFU. Happy to report I've replaced my phone so this should not happen again. Apologies for the inconvenience!
